Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 398-10, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 398-10, transmitted jointly with Bill 310, by Director of Finance
Nancy Crawford, via Communication No. 968 dated October 6, 2010, authorizes the Office of
the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of Hawai`i Department of the Attorney
General's Crime Prevention and Justice Assistance Division for a "Na'auao —Where Knowledge
is Learned"program grant to the Hawai`i Police Department.
Sgt. Regino Saludares said the Hawai`i Police Department has applied for accreditation with the
Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) and the officers need to
be trained in accordance with the nationwide standards set forth by CALEA. The $147,457 grant
will be used to implement an intranet training module which will be capable of training officers
in many required subjects, and will involve testing, re-testing, storing training information, and
tracking the training received by officers. The funds provided by the State of Hawai`i
Department of the Attorney General are derived from grants provided by the federal government.
Pursuant to Section 46-7, Hawai`i Revised Statutes, County Departments must obtain the consent
of the Council to enter into agreements with the federal or state governments respecting action to
be taken pursuant to any of the powers granted by law to furnish, expend and receive any funds
or other assistance in connection with projects being or to be undertaken pursuant to those
powers.
Your Committee on Finance is in accordance with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 398-10,
and recommends its adoption.
